I have an 07937 number that shows as Jersey and is rejected by some operators as a regular UK mobile.

That's strange... I just did a quick web search, and apparently 07872 is a normal UK mobile phone prefix: http://www.telephonecodes.info/code/07872

Several other pages back that up, so I can't see why such calls shouldn't come out of your inclusive call plan. Still, at least EE refunded you...

Generally 07... numbers are mobile phones, but there are a couple of exceptions. 070... and 076..., which are personal (i.e. "follow-me") numbers.

Its better to use the Ofcom numbering list. If the rest of the number starts with 2

07872 2 numbers are allocated to Cloud 9 who are a roaming provider. I don't know whether this would be treated as a UK mobile number.

If you go to

http://ee.co.uk/help/add-ons-benefits-and-plans/price-plans-and-costs/ee-price-plans/pay-monthly

Select the type of price plan your on, your see in the notes, detailed info of whats included and whats not.

World Sim use that numbering range see here how they explain calls may not be inclusive.

I know you said that, but Cloud 9 are an alternate roaming provider.

IOM is 07624

though it appears Cloud9 Communications uses a 078722 prefix for its alternative roaming sim
